Deep Sequencing Facility of SFB 655

HiSeq 2000, Illumina

The establishment of state-of-the-art DNA sequencing in Dresden - so called Next Generation Sequencing or Massively Parallel Sequencing –, has been part of the SFB funding since the 2nd funding period of the SFB 655.

Beginning of 2011 the newly established deep sequencing group of the SFB installed the HiSeq 2000 system from Illumina. This technology enables the deep sequencing group to provide the SFB groups with massive parallellized 'Short Read Sequencing' up to read lengths of 2 x 100 bp.
